This spacious, sophisticated room offers big style as well as big comfort with a king-sized bed (or split into two twin beds), duvet, end tables, lamps, an alarm clock, a/c, 2 dressers, an easy chair, double closet, sheets, towels, a hamper and plenty of hangers.
IMPORTANT: All guests must have a profile with photo of themselves, a written description of them that gives me an idea of their character and four verifications! AND, they must read my comprehensive HOUSE RULES below designed to run a smooth home before booking a room with me.
Thank you!
KEYS: Each room has its own key (as well as the keys to the front door and apartment) so you can lock your door when you leave or leave it open. Guests have been comfortable with both.
KITCHEN: We all share a full kitchen with large fridge, range, microwave, toaster oven, Keurig Coffee Machine, Nutribullet, Magic Bullet and Yonana ice cream maker!
Everything is labeled so it's easy to find your way around. If you are staying longer than three days, I can give you a designated area in the fridge and pantry to store your own groceries.
BATHROOM: We also share my newly renovated bathroom with full bath & shower (there's a second full bath downstairs next to the laundry room). There are plastic totes designated for each room for you to keep your personal toiletries. I provide you with as well as pump bottles of quality shampoo, conditioner, body wash. There are also guest toiletries you can dip into if you've forgotten something.
TOWELS/BEDDING: I provide you with a fresh set of towels and bedding (a few sets of sheets) - during your stay you are responsible for washing your towels and bedding.
GARDEN: There is a patio and garden out back with BBQ, table, chairs and 2 lounge chairs that you are free to use.
SMOKING: Smoking is banished from the house, but allowed on the front or back porch.
LAUNDRY: We now have a washer/dryer in the building, so for a nominal $2 fee you can do your laundry here!
ALLERGIES: For those who are allergy-prone, please be forewarned - I DO have a small dog - a 10 year old Pomeranian, Lily. I also use various nice-smelling scents around the house from time to time.
ME: I'm very friendly and love conversation - I also enjoy offering snacks for when you get the munchies and, if our schedules coincide, I'm getting known for my fab French Toast. Other than that, I'm happy to make dining, entertainment, train & car route suggestions if needed or just leave you to your own itinerary.
For those who are without a car, I'm happy to take you grocery shopping with me or other kinds of shopping since I love to shop!
I'm ALWAYS available by phone or text to answer questions or solve problems.
MY NO-PET PET: My dog, Lily, is a rescue and was abused in a former life so her behavior with new people is often confusing. She's very friendly and loves company BUT gets frightened if you try to pet her. So your job, if you're a dog lover, is to enjoy her funny antics and play with her but refrain from actually touching her with your hands. Or, if you're not a dog person, just ignore her. She won't bother you.

CONCIERGE: While I'm a Jersey native, I also lived in Manhattan for 25 years and pretty much know my way around both places.
If you need help figuring out where to eat or fun things to do in NJ or Manhattan I'm happy to suggest restaurants, theaters, museums, venues and amusements. If you don't fully trust your Garmin, I can also help you out with directions, too!
If I have room in my schedule, I'd be happy to take you to some cool places you've been dying to see as long as you pay my expenses (gas, tolls, tickets, fares, meals, etc).
ARTSTOWN: Rahway is a small historic town in the middle of a resurgence - years ago downtown Rahway was known as “the city" to neighboring towns - a bustling place teaming with stores and shops. Then the malls came - and, sadly, the stores left. We limped along for a bit until the arts started to pop up here and there. In the last 10 years, our unassuming, multi-ethnic, working class neighborhood has given way to Rahway's burgeoning Arts District!
Within a 4 block radius of the Rahway Arts Apartments, you can literally walk to: THE HAMILTON STAGE, UNION COUNTY PERFORMING ARTS CENTER, THE ARTS GUILD OF NEW JERSEY, and RAHWAY ARTS DISTRICT HEADQUARTERS!
GREAT EATS: Right across the street is KIM'S IN THE MIX Restaurant and Cafe : Authentic Southern Cuisine and Exquisite Homemade Desserts ... mmmmm! A couple of blocks down the street we have Patria's Spanish Restaurant/Club, Luciano's Italian Restaurant, Flynn's Irish Pub, Cubanu's Cuban cuisine & bar, The Waiting Room Sports Bar, Little Portugal and Nancy's Townhouse - famous for the thinnest crust pizza ever!

Francesca made me feel right at home. The room has a touch of Manhattan decor and is decorated with special attention detail. I felt very comfortable and had plenty of room for all my clothing and work supplies.

AnthonyMarch 2016

This was my first and best experience with Air BnB. Fran is a great host. Her house is beautiful and you will certainly enjoy your stay here.

VarunOctober 2015

For my first experience in an Airbnb, this exceeded my expectations. The “King-size Manhattan Style” room was well furnished, neat, well appointed and very clean. A window unit air-conditioner kept the space sufficiently cool. The host Francesca (Fran-chess-ka) was very gracious and accommodating. She picked me up at the train station upon arrival and took me to the (EMAIL HIDDEN)munication with her was always very responsive through phone/texting. Francesca has many talents and interior décor is one of them as you will see in all the rooms of the house. The kitchen is well stocked if you want to cook, and space is even provided for you in the refrigerator. Snacks and breakfast items were available on a daily basis. A treat was fresh tomatoes from her garden. Instructions on the operation and use of items are clearly presented throughout the house. A large brand new front load washer and dryer are also available for guest use. Francesca’s witty personality and wide range of experiences as a writer, actress, artist, photographer, graphic designer and activist adds richness to conversations with her. For a look at the expanse of her creative skills, peruse her website: (URL HIDDEN) Understand that you will be sharing the bath, kitchen, living, dining, etc. with her and the other guests, but this was not a problem at all. It allows one to meet and converse with interesting people in a cozy family-like setting. Francesca earnestly tries to make your stay as accommodating as possible. I highly recommend you consider staying here……. Bob

Robert (Bob)August 2015

I came to Rahway on a work assignment and staying with Francesca made the whole trip an absolute joy. From the house there are many places to eat, the train station and shopping well within walking distance. Easy access to NYC and Fran's knowledge of the city made it a very fullfilling experience. The room was great! The house was always clean and tidy. The people I met while here were very friendly and fun to be around. The neighborhood feels very safe and is in the Arts district which I found to be very interesting and enjoyable. I would recommend this listing to anyone and hope to return in the future. Thanks Francesca for the wonderful time!!

MarkDecember 2015

Francesca was nice enough to pick me up at the nearby train station, although it was a very reasonable walk. We picked up some groceries which made it really easy. She is very considerate and willing to help her guests. The room was great and met my expectations when I signed on.

JeffSeptember 2015

We had a wonderful experience, we fell welcoming, safe and secured, Francesca is a great host. everything is clean and organized, as you see in on the photos thats how it is.

joseMay 2016

Francesca is simply a "pro" at hosting. The room is just as featured in Airbnb, very clean, homy and comfortable. The place feels more like a bed & breakfast. She's very detail oriented and thinks about everything. Everything you will need you will find it at her place. She's warm, friendly and very accommodating!

luisJune 2016

Fran was a great host! The room and entire house was very clean and included everything you need to feel right at home. I stayed for 3 months for an internship and I would say you can't beat the price for the location.

Kim is a great host. The house is very well managed and clean. The place is close to rahway train station and very convenient to get to NYC. Overall a great experience.

AnishOctober 2016

Kim has been exceptionally kind and helpful during the whole week. the apartment is very very clean and Kim makes her best to make us feel comfortable /at home. the bedroom is nice with everything you can need. I highly recommend !

BenjaminOctober 2016

Kim is a great host and she made sure that our stay sent well. I'd missed the mention of the room being on the third floor, that's the only hassle that I'd with the stay. This was mainly because I'd to leave on my travel back and had lot of baggage. However, Kim dealt with the situation very well and cooperated with me to a great extent. Thanks Kim!!

NitinOctober 2016

Amazing hostess for an amazing place. A ten minute walk from the Rahway train station takes you to a roomy, clean home in a safe neighborhood. Great kitchen, great bedroom, great living room. Hostess was extremely accommodating and courageous. I would highly recommend the place.

BenDecember 2015

Kim did a wonderful job at hosting and provided a very clean room and common areas. She also provided fruit and snacks (a lot actually) for daily breakfast, which was an unexpected treat. Coffee was also available which was great. Kim made sure to take care of any requests I had and was very reasonable about her own. Very easy going atmosphere. The house is a three story walk up and very cozy. If I could have stayed longer, I would have! I recommend Kim's home to anyone passing through the area.

CameronJune 2016

Kim was a great host and had everything ready the day I arrived. There were no shortcomings and the room had all the expected amenities. The neighborhood is great, with easy access to the Rahway Train station at about a 10 minute walk. There was ample space in the refrigerator, with both a microwave and toaster available for use. Would recommend for anyone looking for a short or long term accommodation in Rahway or near Elizabeth.

OmarNovember 2015

The room was big and had everything one could need to have a happy stay. Kim was very friendly and made my dad feel at home. the location was great, the train station was within walking distance, so as main highways.

Kim is a great host and makes sure you have everything you need. The house is maintained and very clean. Even though it's in a busy area there is always plenty of parking nearby. It's walking distance to the Rahway train station and some great restaurants. Room was comfortable and very private. I would recommend it to anyone needing a place to stay.

JaySeptember 2016

If you are a first time single room renter then Ms. Kim's location is gold! Everything that she described was accurate. The room was prepared and ready the minute I got there. She is extremely accommodating. Everything was super clean! The train was so close and within a great walking distance for my NY legs. Kim's place is always first choice for future trips.

AmandaAugust 2016

Kim is great! She was very accommodating and helpful. The room is nice and the house is very clean. The house has all you can need and more.

jesúsMay 2016

I really enjoyed staying at Kim's place. It was very comfortable and Kim was very accommodating for a long term stay. The place was very clean and cozy. The room was especially homey and comfortable. Kim was very friendly and approachable as a host. I would recommend this place for students and people looking for a long term stay.

CharlotteOctober 2015

The NJ Jazz Bedroom experience was more than anticipated... I especially enjoyed the location and welcoming host. She went out of her way to make me feel welcome. The room was spacious and included a desk and reading light that made my stay more comfortable than expected.

MiguelApril 2016

My husband and I stayed at Kim's Jazz Room for two months during this summer. The room was clean, well-furnished, with sufficient closet space. The common areas like the kitchen was well-equipped and meticulously kept clean, with ample shelf space for our spices and a large enough refrigerator for our food and groceries. The house was in a quieter neighborhood with not much going around, but it was only 10 minutes walk from the Rahway train station. The good things being said, the room itself was below our expectations. It was an attic converted into a bedroom, with a very low ceiling and an extremely small window which could not be fully opened. During the dog days of the summer, the room became an oven and the AC could not cool the room enough, making the stay uncomfortable. To sum up, I would recommend the Jazz Room for short stays and/or during colder seasons, or if you plan on staying out most of the time. As a host, Kim was courteous, prompt, and tried her best to give us a good living experience.

FarahAugust 2016

I can't say enough good things about this stay. I was on medical school rotations and stayed with Kim for a little over three months. She was very nice and welcoming. She has everything you need at the house, including all kitchen wear, towels, sheets etc. The room was great with plenty of space for all my things. The location of the house is great because the train station is only a couple blocks away and there are a ton of grocery stores and restaurants within a short drive. All in all it was a great stay and I would highly recommend this place!

Two shades of gray! This small restful room offers big comfort with a queen-sized bed, end tables, desk & swivel chair, a/c, under bed drawers, built-in shelves, tall Ikea wardrobe, open clothes rod, over-the-door clothes hooks, shelving unit with storage bins, built in book shelves, storage bench and a hamper.

Everything is labeled so it's easy to find your way around. If you are staying longer than three days, I can give you a designated area in the fridge and pantry to store your own groceries.
BATHROOM: We also share my newly renovated bathroom with full bath & shower (there's a second full bath downstairs next to the laundry room). There are plastic totes designated for each room for you to keep your personal toiletries. I provide you with as well as pump bottles of quality shampoo, conditioner, body wash. There are also guest toiletries you can dip into if you've forgotten something.
TOWELS/BEDDING: I provide you with a fresh set of towels and bedding (a few sets of sheets) - during your stay you are responsible for washing your towels and bedding.
GARDEN: There is a patio and garden out back with BBQ, table, chairs and 2 lounge chairs that you are free to use.
SMOKING: Smoking is banished from the house, but allowed on the front or back porch.
LAUNDRY: We have a brand new front-loading washer/dryer in the building - just a $2 fee per load.
ALLERGIES: For those who are allergy-prone, please be forewarned - I DO have a small dog - a 10 year old Pomeranian, Lily. I also use various nice-smelling scents around the house from time to time.
ME: I'm very friendly and love conversation - I also enjoy offering snacks for when you get the munchies and, if our schedules coincide, I'm getting known for my fab French Toast. Other than that, I'm happy to make dining, entertainment, train & car route suggestions if needed or just leave you to your own itinerary.
For those who are without a car, I'm happy to take you grocery shopping with me or other kinds of shopping since I love to shop!
I'm ALWAYS available by phone or text to answer questions or solve problems.
MY NO-PET PET: My dog, Lily, is a rescue and was abused in a former life so her behavior with new people is often confusing. She's very friendly and loves company BUT gets frightened if you try to pet her. So your job, if you're a dog lover, is to enjoy her funny antics and play with her but refrain from actually touching her with your hands. Or, if you're not a dog person, just ignore her. She won't bother you.

CONCIERGE: While I'm a Jersey native, I also lived in Manhattan for 25 years and pretty much know my way around both places.
If you need help figuring out where to eat or fun things to do in NJ or Manhattan I'm happy to suggest restaurants, theaters, museums, venues and amusements. If you don't fully trust your Garmin, I can also help you out with directions, too!
ARTSTOWN: Rahway is a small historic town in the middle of a resurgence - years ago downtown Rahway was known as “the city" to neighboring towns - a bustling place teaming with stores and shops. Then the malls came - and, sadly, the stores left. We limped along for a bit until the arts started to pop up here and there. In the last 10 years, our unassuming, multi-ethnic, working class neighborhood has given way to Rahway's burgeoning Arts District!
Within a 4 block radius, you can literally walk to: THE HAMILTON STAGE, UNION COUNTY PERFORMING ARTS CENTER, THE ARTS GUILD OF NEW JERSEY, and RAHWAY ARTS DISTRICT HEADQUARTERS!
GREAT EATS: A couple of blocks down the street we have Patria's Spanish Restaurant/Club, Luciano's Italian Restaurant, Flynn's Irish Pub, Cubanu's Cuban cuisine & bar, The Waiting Room Sports Bar, Little Portugal and Nancy's Townhouse - famous for the thinnest crust pizza ever!
We're THE HUB!
Centrally located, RAHWAY is the TRANSPORTATION HUB to EVERYWHERE!
To MANHATTAN BY TRAIN: Our state-of-the-art Rahway Train Station offers NJ Transit trains directly into NY Penn Station.
AND it's only a 10-12 minute walk or a 3 minute drive from our building. (There's also a 24-hour taxi company at the station - costs about $5 to go to or from.) Rahway happens to be a hub station so it gets twice the amount of trains running through it to Manhattan every day and does not require a train change like nearby Westfield and Garwood.
There are usually 3 - 4 trains each hour, the last train back is 1:52 am. It usually takes 40 minutes (35 if it's an express). $17.75 round trip ($8 senior round trip).
To MANHATTAN BY CAR: You can get on NJ Turnpike North within 15 minutes and take the …
The Holland Tunnel into downtown NYC (Chelsea, Village, Soho, Tribeca, China Town, Little Italy, etc…) in 20 more minutes.
The Lincoln Tunnel into Midtown Manhattan takes another 20 minutes longer - and is perfect for seeing Broadway shows.
(There IS a bus that passes through Rahway and goes into Manhattan as well - but not as often. There is NO WAY to get to Staten Island unless by car.)
TO AIRPORT: We are a mere 15- 20 minutes from Newark Airport via car (NJ Turnpike or Rt 1 &9) or NJ Transit Train.
TO HOSPITAL: We're 5 minutes to Robert Wood Johnson Hospital in Rahway.
TO JERSEY SHORE, ATLANTIC CITY, PHILLY: We're 5 minutes from the Garden State Parkway SOUTH
TO HOBOKEN, JERSEY CITY, NEWARK: We're 5 minutes from the Garden State Parkway NORTH.
NEIGHBORING TOWNS: When you stay in Rahway you are just minutes away from lots of other cool towns.
We are approx. 10 minutes from Westfield, Clark, Scotch Plains, Cranford, Garwood, Linden, Elizabeth, Colonia, Avenel, Carteret, Woodbridge, Metropark and more.
We are approx. 20 minutes from Edison, Menlo Park, New Brunswick, East Brunswick, Millburn, Maplewood, Montclair, Union, Hillside, Springfield, and more.
SHOPPING MALLS: We have plenty of great big-name stores right along Route 1 & 9 and Route 27
5 - 10 minutes away: Home Depot, Target, Marshalls, AC Moore, Staples, Walmart, Dress Barn, Home Goods, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Pier One, Best Buy, PC Richard's, Kmart, Radio Shack, etc …
15 - 20 minutes away: Ikea, Jersey Gardens Mall, Woodbridge Mall, Menlo Park Mall, Short Hills Mall and more.
MOVIE THEATERS: Love movies? So do we!
We love catching flicks at AMC Aviation Plaza 12, AMC Menlo Park Dine In, Cranford Arts Cinema, Westfield's Rialto Theater and the Clairidge Arts Cinema in Montclair.
LIVE MUSIC: Feel like hearing some tunes?
The famous Robin's Nest Jazz & Blues Joint is minutes away in Linden and you can catch our local Rahway rock bands at the RailHouse “Club Car", Cubanu, Flynn's, Patria and more.
WELCOME MUNCHIES: When you arrive, you may find yourself in need of a few things. Once you get settled you can stock up, but when you are settling in feel free to avail yourself of the following.
HOT BEVERAGES: Keurig coffees, black & herbal teas, freeze-dried decaf coffee (disposable coffee to-go cups)
CONDIMENTS: butter, jams, jellies, cream cheese, mustard, mayo, ketchup
SNACKS: Microwave popcorn, fruit, nuts, cookies (whatever is in the house when you arrive!)
TAKE-OUT/DELIVERY: I provide menu books for all the local restaurants in a variety of ethnicities (American, Asian, Cuban, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Fast Food, etc …)

Francesca was very kind with us, she gave us a warm welcome to her house. The room was perfect, everything has a place and she designated many storage spots so we had plenty of room for our belongings. She provided snacks almost every day. The neighborhood is very well located.

NataliaMay 2015

Fran's home was as advertised, very welcoming and warm. She was/is a great host and is very reasonable and flexible when it comes to guests like myself who stayed for an entire month. She was very eager to give advice on the local sights/restaturants and transportation, which was much appreciated.

EricSeptember 2014

A relay nice summer! Francesca is a very good host; the space is wonderful and really well-designed. I felt right at home and the feeling never changed during the two months I stayed with her. We had great conversations and a lot of tasty barbecues with the new grill. In general the flat is well equipped having a large kitchen with everything you can imagine. Lily, her little dog, is a cute girl, too. I enjoyed to spend some time with her whenever I was at home. They both are really funny. Enjoy your stay! I’m looking forward to my next visit.

StefanAugust 2014

Francesca is a fabulous Host! Very helpful, communicative and relaxed - made me feel at home! At check inn all information provided clearly. House is perfectly organized, clean and nicely decorated, easy for any kind of guest! Quiet neighborhood a few minutes walk from station easy to reach NY city center or other cities in just half an hour maximun. Was a pleasure to stay and will return for sure. Shame I haven´t see her on my check out just to thank her personally. Jorge

Anna & JorgeMay 2016

Staying with at Francesca's place was wonderful! I am a med student and she has all the amenities required to complete rotations without stress. I have stayed with her twice. Your room includes Wi-fi, bathroom and kitchen storage. NJ transit is 15 min walk and can take you to NYC in 30 min. There is a gym and fitness park within walking distance. Several good restaurants are nearby. The next trainstop up is Linden where you will find a Target and Supermarket. There is a laundromat and dry cleaners within 5 min walk. Fran also has a printer you can use. Francesca is a very friendly and intelligent artist who you can have a glass of wine with!

NathanFebruary 2015

What a woman is Francesca! On the very first day, she will make you feel like you are her best friend that she has been looking so forward to see. And if you are lucky to have your birthday while staying with her, she will bake a cake to celebrate with you. Her house is very nicely organized and labeled, so that you will never feel lost looking for something. The room is small, but you will find everything in it you may need staying there, including a lot of storage options. The location is perfect for a short commute to NYC and all the other places in central NJ. But keep in mind that you will not be the only one guest. That house has two other rooms for Airbnb guests, and they will be using the same bathroom and kitchen with you(URL HIDDEN)Also, take into consideration that the other guests will not necessarily have the same daily schedule as you, so you could be awakened by guests who stay up late. However, the overall experience staying in Fran's house was very nice!

JagodaOctober 2016

Francesca was a wonderful host. She made our stay very pleasant, she made ice cream to please my daughter and we even went to the movies one day. The property was very clean and tastefully decorated. The room was soo beautiful and comfortable too, like a little boutique hotel room. I highly recommend her place.... I will definetely will stay here again on my next visit to NJ!

YaniApril 2014

It was a great experience! my month long stay at Francesca's place. The room is super beautiful, perfect designed in organized clean house. There are many storage spots in the room suited all my needs and well organized. I felt right at home. Francesca is a very nice host, friendly and makes sure you have everything that you needed. It was an amazing experience. Thank you! Francesca

Our guests have loved the house, we look forward to your stay.

Aundre and Sandy were great host. We were met as we were checking in and received a personal tour. Aundre did note that the air conditioning wasn't cooling efficiently. We replied that we would be spending much of our time on the go or sitting outside. The property's location was perfect, it was only a few blocks from the train station and my mother's residence. We enjoyed the property's outdoor space and the neighborhood was quaint and quiet with easy access to local retail shops. This is an older property despite the renovations those guests looking for a series of modern amenities maybe disappointed; however, if you are interested in a convenient location with a friendly host this property offers a personal experience not matched in this price point.

PamelaJuly 2015

We enjoyed our stay here and the location was close to the events we were attending. Access to rail and freeway were simple. Neighborhood was nice and safe. Proximity to all shopping needs was convenient. Host was very welcoming and attentive to our concerns. Suggestions for some improvements were made to the host and she was very receptive and assured me that they would be addressed. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here.

Last year we shared our space during the summer through Airbnb. We meet a lot people from other states of United States as well as countries such as Germany, Japan, China, United Kingdom, Portugal, Argentina, Mexico, Hungary, Vietnam, Czech Republic, Poland among others. It was a wonderful experience for us. We spent a lot time a with our guests, and we learned a lot about other cultures. Many of our guests were passionate travelers, who enjoyed sharing stories. Others we barely saw, as they were here only for a few hours before catching a flight from EWR.

Safe, clean and quiet
Great International food.
Restaurants, Cafes.
Grocery stores.
Several parks.
3 Min walk to bus stop. takes you to Port Authority in NYC
10 Min. walk from train station.-30 Minute ride to NYC
15 min away from Jersey Gardens Mall
We have an awesome, friendly cat. You must be Cat Friendly!
We have only one bed in the private room, if you are two, you must be fine with sharing the bed.

I had a great stay at Daniel, Edith, and Cesar's place. Since my flight was seriously delayed, I landed at EWR at 3am and was worried that I might not be able to check in as it is too late. I told Daniel about the delay before I got on the flight from San Francisco, and when I landed in Newark, I called him and he picked up the call. I was so grateful that he waited for me that late. The house is about 15 minutes away drive from EWR and 5 minutes drive to Elizabeth train station that has train to NYC. It was clean and nice stay. Although I only briefly met Daniel, Edith, and Cesar, I would love to come back and visit them again. Thank you!

Patrick

Highly recommended.

AmitAugust 2016

It was great staying here! The hosts were very open to my arrival times and when I could check in. When I first arrived, Daniel met me and explained everything about staying in their place. I told him I'd never been to the area and he sat with me and gave some great suggestions for places I could see or things to do in NYC. The room I stayed in was an open room (like a living room) on a pull out sofa. They did have a privacy curtain in the hall, bwteeen the room I was staying in and the other bedrooms which they kept shut the entire time, which I really appreciated. I was free to come and go as I needed, which was great for me, since I could explore the area on my own time. I didn't get to see much of the hosts, but they were nice when I talked with them and their place was very nice to stay in!

Brittany AnnAugust 2016

I desperately needed a place to stay before my flight left from Newark airport. Daniel, Edith & Cesar were very understanding and flexible, and took me in with less than half a days notice. They had everything I needed and I couldnt ask for more in terms of friendliness and willingness to help. Thanks!

AndersAugust 2016

Great place to spend a couple of nights exploring North Jersey and NYC. Clean, quiet room, and very accommodating wonderful hosts. Great location too, with plenty of on-street parking. Thank you guys!

The apartment is beautifully renovated, cozy, and quiet. Private entry makes it feel like your own. I would stay here again.

OliverApril 2016

The photos and description of the apartment give a good impression. For us it felt like a little home away from home. We always like to cook ourselves (since we travel a lot), which was no problem, because everything we didn't find immediately was provided by Marina. She, her husband Julio and her son Alex do everything they can to make you feel welcome. If ever we had a question we could reach them, and they would have the answers. In the mean time the apartment is very private. They never intrude. The bus stop is very close. The bus will take you to Manhattan in 45-60 minutes (depending on the traffic). It rides all day, in rush hour more regularly, outside rush hour once an hour.

PaulineJuly 2015

This was our first time to use Air bnb. Everything was just as described and expected. I would definitely stay here again.

Mariana was a great host. Place looks exactly like it does in the photos. We did not see Marina during our stay but we felt welcomed. The bed was comfortable. I would recommend staying here.

OrajahMay 2016

Communication with Marina was simple but direct. Keys were left in the mailbox. We had some issues with the TV signal but it was promptly fixed. It was too pricy for what it has to offer.

JoseApril 2016

My host was very responsive. It was clean and cute with more than enough space for one person. It was as described except that there should be a pretty clear warning that it is up a pretty narrow set of stairs.

The host was very friendly and quick to reply with any needed information. We stayed at this location while working a golf tournament, and it fit our needs. My only complaint would be the AC window units were very noisy, and hard to get a solid nights sleep.

My place is 7 min drive to the airport, 25 min train to the city, 3 minute walk to bus to the city and art and culture. You’ll love my place because of the neighborhood. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers.

Charna and Ben were very accommodating and easy to get along with. I came in for two performances in NYC and they made my stay there pleasant. They provided a key, snacks, water, towels and a private room in a basement that they are finishing. They told me directions in and out of NYC that saved us money on tolls and in general are a lovely, growing family of 5. We (my producer and I) were in & out and used the place mostly to sleep and prep for our next show. The price was right and the hospitality felt perfect. Other amenities include a washer and dryer that we used. They also have a pleasant backyard with a few chairs if you want to relax outdoors. I highly recommend staying here for a few nights on your trip to New Jersey or New York. -Edward

Beautiful neighborhood! Actually didn't want to leave. Elizabeth isn't known for being super nice but this was a great area with nearby access to two new jersey transit lines to Newark and New York City, and the bus system. Also nearby to Newark airport which worked perfectly for me. I would stay here again!!

Had a great nights sleep at Ninas house! Nina and her daughters are so nice and welcoming, the house was very clean and had everything you could need. Thank you for everything I will book again the next time I am in the area

DarinJuly 2016

Nina was such an excellent host! She was very accommodating at my check-in and all throughout my stay. Even though breakfast isn't on the listing, she also made me bfast and coffee. I was also offered dinner by one of her daughters. I loved meeting her mom, sisters, and daughters throughout my trip! They were sweet and made me feel like family. I enjoyed my time and conversations with everyone during my stay..and I would definitely return to stay at Nina's!

ShorntaiJune 2016

It was first time that I used airbnb. Nina was such a wonderful host who was warm and friendly. I was quite welcomed and my stay at her house was very comfortable. While I stayed, I met several her friends and a relative who were also friendly. She is not only a good host but also attracts people to come to her house and have fun!

MayumiAugust 2016

Real nice place to stay! The house is exactly as described: clean, quite, well decorated; a lovely jewel. The neghborhood was calm, with a beautiful scenery. Nina and her daugthers were really kind and helpful, they made us feel like we were staying in our own home. I would definitely return to stay at Nina's.

MirellaJuly 2016

AmrSeptember 2016

Stay with Ms. Nina was such a lovely experience. She was so sweet and nice. She really made you feel like you were home. Even though, I was gone most of the time, when I did see her and her daughter they were super nice and made sure I was okay. And the room was so cute and clean. Everything was clean including the bathroom.

I reached home without having been able to check in . Jorge received without problems. Very kind and respectful. It has a wonderful dog in the house. I had the opportunity to do a little physical training with a host in the house which was very cool. I will return for sure.

J.July 2016

Once again great place and an amazing all around experience!

VirgilSeptember 2016

Great place to relax! Jorge has a great gym at his place too!

VirgilAugust 2016

Great host. Have stayed with him many times. Willing to help make your stay as comfortable as possible.

VirgilSeptember 2016

I have stay at several of Jorge's locations. All of them have been great. They are always clean and Jorge is great with communication!

VirgilAugust 2016

Jorge's house was extremely clean and cozy. If I am back in the area, I would absolutely stay there again. The neighborhood was really nice too. I felt very safe taking walks around the area and enjoying fresh air. Thanks so much Jorge!!!

EvaOctober 2016

Everything at Jorge house was perfect!!! I would recommend staying here, as much privacy as you want, his dog is awesome and always meets you at the dog ready to play. Very relaxed environment and easy parking out front no looking for a spot. Jorge is quick to respond and is very helpful and friendly...

JeremySeptember 2016

Everything was wonderful. He takes good care of you and offers his whole house. no problems at all.

A tiny oasis of calm. This pretty, cosy "shabby chic-style" bedroom is great for someone looking for a peaceful place to call home. Perfect long-term solution for students and interns at nearby colleges, hospitals and corporations. There is an empty closet, a hamper, a vanity/desk, under-bed storage and 6 canvas bins to put your clothes.
IMPORTANT: All guests must have a profile with photo of themselves, a written description of them that gives me an idea of their character and four verifications! AND, they must read my comprehensive HOUSE RULES below designed to run a smooth home before booking a room with me.
Thank you!
KEYS: Each room has its own key (as well as the keys to the front door and apartment) so you can lock your door when you leave or leave it open. Guests have been comfortable with both.
KITCHEN: We all share a full kitchen with large fridge, range, microwave, toaster oven, Keurig Coffee Machine, Nutribullet, Magic Bullet and Yonana ice cream maker!
Everything is labeled so it's easy to find your way around. If you are staying longer than three days, I can give you a designated area in the fridge and pantry to store your own groceries.
BATHROOM: We also share my newly renovated bathroom with full bath & shower (there's a second full bath downstairs next to the laundry room). There are plastic totes designated for each room for you to keep your personal toiletries. I provide you with as well as pump bottles of quality shampoo, conditioner, body wash. There are also guest toiletries you can dip into if you've forgotten something.
TOWELS/BEDDING: I provide you with a fresh set of towels and bedding (a few sets of sheets) - during your stay you are responsible for washing your towels and bedding.
GARDEN: There is a patio and garden out back with BBQ, table, chairs and 2 lounge chairs that you are free to use.
SMOKING: Smoking is banished from the house, but allowed on the front or back porch.
ALLERGIES: For those who are allergy-prone, please be forewarned - I DO have a small dog - a 10 year old Pomeranian, Lily. I also use various nice-smelling scents around the house from time to time.
ME: I'm very friendly and love conversation - I also enjoy offering snacks for when you get the munchies and, if our schedules coincide, I'm getting known for my fab French Toast. Other than that, I'm happy to make dining, entertainment, train & car route suggestions if needed or just leave you to your own itinerary.
For those who are without a car, I'm happy to take you grocery shopping with me or other kinds of shopping since I love to shop!
I'm ALWAYS available by phone or text to answer questions or solve problems.
MY NO-PET PET: My dog, Lily, is a rescue and was abused in a former life so her behavior with new people is often confusing. She's very friendly and loves company BUT gets frightened if you try to pet her. So your job, if you're a dog lover, is to enjoy her funny antics and play with her but refrain from actually touching her with your hands. Or, if you're not a dog person, just ignore her. She won't bother you.

CONCIERGE: While I'm a Jersey native, I also lived in Manhattan for 25 years and pretty much know my way around both places.
If you need help figuring out where to eat or fun things to do in NJ or Manhattan I'm happy to suggest restaurants, theaters, museums, venues and amusements. If you don't fully trust your Garmin, I can also help you out with directions, too!
ARTSTOWN: Rahway is a small historic town in the middle of a resurgence - years ago downtown Rahway was known as “the city" to neighboring towns - a bustling place teaming with stores and shops. Then the malls came - and, sadly, the stores left. We limped along for a bit until the arts started to pop up here and there. In the last 10 years, our unassuming, multi-ethnic, working class neighborhood has given way to Rahway's burgeoning Arts District!
Within a 4 block radius, you can literally walk to: THE HAMILTON STAGE, UNION COUNTY PERFORMING ARTS CENTER, THE ARTS GUILD OF NEW JERSEY, and RAHWAY ARTS DISTRICT HEADQUARTERS!
GREAT EATS: A couple of blocks down the street we have Patria's Spanish Restaurant/Club, Luciano's Italian Restaurant, Flynn's Irish Pub, Cubanu's Cuban cuisine & bar, The Waiting Room Sports Bar, Little Portugal and Nancy's Townhouse - famous for the thinnest crust pizza ever!
We're THE HUB!
Centrally located, RAHWAY is the TRANSPORTATION HUB to EVERYWHERE!
To MANHATTAN BY TRAIN: Our state-of-the-art Rahway Train Station offers NJ Transit trains directly into NY Penn Station.
AND it's only a 10-12 minute walk or a 3 minute drive from our building. (There's also a 24-hour taxi company at the station - costs about $5 to go to or from.) Rahway happens to be a hub station so it gets twice the amount of trains running through it to Manhattan every day and does not require a train change like nearby Westfield and Garwood.
There are usually 3 - 4 trains each hour, the last train back is 1:52 am. It usually takes 40 minutes (35 if it's an express). Approx $19 round trip ($9 senior round trip).
To MANHATTAN BY CAR: You can get on NJ Turnpike North within 15 minutes and take the …
The Holland Tunnel into downtown NYC (Chelsea, Village, Soho, Tribeca, China Town, Little Italy, etc…) in 20 more minutes.
The Lincoln Tunnel into Midtown Manhattan takes another 20 minutes longer - and is perfect for seeing Broadway shows.
(There IS a bus that passes through Rahway and goes into Manhattan as well - but not as often. There is NO WAY to get to Staten Island unless by car.)
TO AIRPORT: We are a mere 15- 20 minutes from Newark Airport via car (NJ Turnpike or Rt 1 &9) or NJ Transit Train.
TO HOSPITAL: We're 5 minutes to Robert Wood Johnson Hospital in Rahway.
TO JERSEY SHORE, ATLANTIC CITY, PHILLY: We're 5 minutes from the Garden State Parkway SOUTH
TO HOBOKEN, JERSEY CITY, NEWARK: We're 5 minutes from the Garden State Parkway NORTH.
NEIGHBORING TOWNS: When you stay in Rahway you are just minutes away from lots of other cool towns.
We are approx. 10 minutes from Westfield, Clark, Scotch Plains, Cranford, Garwood, Linden, Elizabeth, Colonia, Avenel, Carteret, Woodbridge, Metropark and more.
We are approx. 20 minutes from Edison, Menlo Park, New Brunswick, East Brunswick, Millburn, Maplewood, Montclair, Union, Hillside, Springfield, and more.
SHOPPING MALLS: We have plenty of great big-name stores right along Route 1 & 9 and Route 27
5 - 10 minutes away: Home Depot, Target, Marshalls, AC Moore, Staples, Walmart, Dress Barn, Home Goods, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Pier One, Best Buy, PC Richard's, Kmart, Radio Shack, etc …
15 - 20 minutes away: Ikea, Jersey Gardens Mall, Woodbridge Mall, Menlo Park Mall, Short Hills Mall and more.
MOVIE THEATERS: Love movies? So do we!
We love catching flicks at AMC Aviation Plaza 12, AMC Menlo Park Dine In, Cranford Arts Cinema, Westfield's Rialto Theater and the Clairidge Arts Cinema in Montclair.
LIVE MUSIC: Feel like hearing some tunes?
The famous Robin's Nest Jazz & Blues Joint is minutes away in Linden and you can catch our local Rahway rock bands at the RailHouse “Club Car", Cubanu, Flynn's, Patria and more.
WELCOME MUNCHIES: When you arrive, you may find yourself in need of a few things. Once you get settled you can stock up, but when you are settling in feel free to avail yourself of the following.
HOT BEVERAGES: Keurig coffees, black & herbal teas, freeze-dried decaf coffee (disposable coffee to-go cups)
CONDIMENTS: butter, jams, jellies, cream cheese, mustard, mayo, ketchup
SNACKS: Microwave popcorn, fruit, nuts, cookies (whatever is in the house when you arrive!)
TAKE-OUT/DELIVERY: I provide menu books for all the local restaurants in a variety of ethnicities (American, Asian, Cuban, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Fast Food, etc …)

Francesca was a very welcoming host. She has everything in the home organized so well for guests from the bathroom to the coffee in the morning and snacks. The room was nice, cozy and comfortable. I'm not normally a dog person, but her dog Lily was also super cute and friendly...and she'll put on a twirling show for you if you give her cucumbers to eat. I felt safe in the neighborhood and there was plenty of on-street parking. Overall, I enjoyed my time and would highly recommend staying here. It's a good option for someone looking for an affordable place to stay.

EmmaleeFebruary 2014

My stay with Francesca was great - my room was attractive and she has thought of everything. I felt so comfortable in her home. She treats you like a friend, going above and beyond for her guests; she fixed my new sunglasses, cooked my friend and I an impromptu French Toast, provided books of menus for takeout and she took great pics of me for Tinder! She's even helping me design my own apartment while I'm here on assignment. I recommend anyone staying with her long term!

కేశవ్May 2016

I had a very comfortable month long stay. I used this as a one month window to find a more long term renting option. Francesca is extremely kind and the space is neat and clean. I would definitely recommend the space to others, and if my family visits me in Rahway, then I would probably have them try to rent from her.

ShaneOctober 2016

Great experience! Fran is so nice and welcoming. She keeps everything so organized and neat and the whole apartment is filled with all her beautiful artwork. Everything in the kitchen is labeled which make things really easy to find. But for the days that I didn't want to cook, she knew all the best spots to eat ("Kim's in the Mix!"). Such a great host and now a great friend!

ChuksJanuary 2015

Francesca was great and very welcoming. Her house is comfortable, extremely well set up for Airbnb visitors, well decorated, and in a quiet neighborhood. Her dog is cute and energetic. The room has its own key which was good. The house is clean, my bed was comfortable, close to stores & restaurants, and plenty of street parking. Would not hesitate to stay there again. Thank you, Francesca, for making my first Airbnb experience a positive one.

Travis November 2014

Fran was a great host and had anything available that you may need. She has things very organized and was very helpful when I needed it. The listing was accurate and as described. The neighborhood was a nice residential side street that was lively but not loud and obnoxious. I stayed here for a month for a hospital rotation. The only thing that I would change is that I would've liked to have a desk in the room. However, there is a table in the common space that was available for use. I would stay here again if I need to stay in the area.

HaseebSeptember 2014

This was a great place to stay. Clean, friendly, comfortable, in a lovely quiet neighborhood.

angelaMarch 2016

This room offered quite a bit of storage and the house had a enough space to socialize as well as have alone time. It is close to the train station.

Great , place. Very spacious. Great neighborhood and pleasant host.

ShawanaOctober 2016

Overall this is a very nice property with plenty of space to be comfortable. The house was clean, well equipped and modern. The hosts were very responsive, considerate and thoughtful to our needs. Easy access to major highways and train station. There were only 5 of us in our group and we had more than enough space. We will certainly consider for future visits to NJ.

TroyMarch 2016

This was perfect. The house is beautiful and very well kept. Includes everything you would need. Lots of places to eat near by. Long story short I really enjoyed my stay here!

ImonieNovember 2015

The house is VERY large and spacious inside. Beautifully decorated, I'd call the style "modern". Modern in a good way, still very comfortable. The backyard is fenced, which was wonderful considering how late we got in. Animals are allowed - THANK YOU! Patrick was quick to answer any questions we had. I know this is new for him and I hope it's been and continues to be a good experience.

LaraDecember 2015

It was a pleasure staying at Patricks House. I would go there at any time again. Close to manhatten and grocery stores. Very nice neighbourhood.

AlexMay 2016

We had a very enjoyable stay. The house was very comfortable and we had easy access tot he trains. The Latino Bakery about three block away was excellent.

DavidOctober 2016

Great house all modern brand new the whole house is sick

MoeFebruary 2016

This large spacious home was immaculate, modern, and comfortable. Nice, clean, quiet neighborhood. It is located in a very good part of town. At night the street was well lighted (almost like daytime). Definitely perfect for large groups. Sent questions by text message and all were answered quickly. We would stay here again if ever in the area.

Our attic is probably the quietest room you'll encounter on your travels. When you are in our attic, you cannot hear anything from anywhere else in the house. It's private, clean, comfortable, and if you need anything, you can always ask us.
Guests can access the bedroom and bathroom, as well as the mini-fridge and hanging rack in the bedroom. We do store tubs of clothing and extra household items in the attic, as well as our luggage, so these are off limits to guests. Closet on the bathroom side of attic is off limits to guests.
We should be available to answer all questions or provide assistance to guests during their stay. If we are not home, we can be reached by cell phone. Guests who wish to use our laundry room may do so for a nominal fee (covers detergent/softener/water, etc...). In addition, if a guest would like to join us for a cup of coffee or tea and a snack, we would be more than happy to accommodate if we are home.

Elizabeth is a 30 min train ride from Penn Station in NYC. It is also a 15-minute ride to Staten Island and a 30-minute ride by car to Brooklyn. We are a commuter's dream location. In addition, the neighborhood in which we live is called Elmora Hills, and it is quiet, suburban, and pleasant. he mayor lives a few blocks away, so crime is low near our home, and it is safe to walk or run around our neighborhood. We are very close to the Union border, and we are a 15 minute walk to the Union train station and about a 25 min walk to the downtown Elizabeth train station. Our home is located on what used to be Shelley Court before the streets were made. Our corner is known as poets' corner, as we are on the corner of Byron and Shelley and Keats and Browning are 1 block away on either side. The closest shops and businesses to our home are on Magie Ave. about 1-2 blocks away.
If you have a car, you can park on the street in front of our house. Please note that on Wednesday and Saturday, street cleaning occurs, so note the signs to see on which side of the street parking is allowed. See our overview of the neighborhood for information about transportation.
We are an Orthodox Jewish family so we keep strictly kosher and are Sabbath observers. We cannot check guests in Friday nights after sundown or on Saturday. Check out should not be an issue. We kindly request that guests not eat in the attic. The mini-fridge is for storage only. All other parts of the house are off-limits to our guests unless host is present and guest has been invited to join us.

Jessica and David made me feel at home. Actually they provided me more than they should. invited me to dinner and lunch, also showed me their culture respecting always the differences.

My wife and I stayed at Jessica's for a short evening before a flight out of EWR the next morning and I couldn't have asked for a better stay. Her place was very convenient to the airport and she was very welcoming as a host and easy to communicate with! Will definitely stay again if in the area.

Jessica made me feel so welcome. She picked me up from the train station and her husband Dave even dropped me at the airport the next morning. The room was very comfy, but more than that, Jessica and her family were just incredibly lovely and fun to spend an evening with. I definitely recommend staying with them, especially if you're looking for somewhere convenient to EWR.

I had a great stay at Jessica's. It was an easy commute to the city and jessica was very welcoming even though we showed up late. I would recommend this air bnb to travelers.

Jessica was a wonderful, warm and friendly host. I felt right at home and safe - being new in the city. The room afforded me adequate privacy and rest, and Jessica was very flexible and accommodating with my requests. Despite my busy schedule - dashing in and out, I still had brief moments to have friendly chats with her and her family. I was very inspired by her devotion and culture, and learnt a lot from our conversations.

Jessica and David, whole family, made my daughter and I feel totally welcomed. The home was warm and welcoming. I would recommend a car. The Chilean Bakery was a great breakfast place. I look forward to staying there again.

Loved staying at Jessica's place. We felt very welcome. Location is great, 5 min drive to the trainstation and from there a easy connection to the centre of New York. Perfect if youre travelling with a car and dont want to drive in the city.

We were visiting New York and stayed at Jessica's beautiful home in New Jersey, which is close to Union Station (walk about 15 -20 min). The house is in a very calm and nice neighbourhood. The apartment was in the attic and we had a marvellous private bathroom with a wonderful bathroom heat and completely equipped. Our stay was so much better than in a hotel. It was literally like staying at a friend's house because Jessica is a wonderful caring host and easy to like. She was always taking care that we do well and nothing is missing. She even drove us every day to the train station and was very caring and communicative. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience and for the very inspiring long talks! All the best for you and your family! Doro & Sketch

Comfortable one bedroom. Window opens in wooded backyard. Centrally located on a quiet street. Easy access to major highways and train station.Please note that check-in on weekdays is after 6PM and prefer a week or shorter bookings only.

I had an excellent stay with Vinod, and his family took great care, and especially when I visited the country for the first time. It was really a home away from my home. I have most excellent view of Vinod and his wife as a host and as an acquaintance.

Vinod was extremely kind and welcoming. The room provided was clean and comfortable. I was also happy that parking was not an issue. Things could not have worked out any better. I'd highly recommend Vinod's place.

Vinod was great from the beginning, he responds quickly with texts and was very accommodating and welcoming. I unfortunately had a cold during my stay and when he found out, he left me an unopened box of Theraflu on my night stand and instructions to use the kitchen. Everything is exactly as described on the site.

Great host! Great neighbourhood.

This may be the best airbnb experience ever. I was offered refreshments and dinner after arriving after 10pm. Snacks and cold water and beverages were offered every night. The house is beautiful. The neighborhood is a peaceful suburban one. The bedroom and bathroom were first class with top shelf amenities. The hosts were wonderful. I will certainly try to stay here again on future business trips.
